The tail end of the year has been busy for up and coming producer, Cromby. In the past few months he has released two new EP's on bothSulta Selects Silver Service and on Feel My Bicep. Two labels with prominent followings and a keen sense of sound. The Belfast born, Berlin based producer looks set to emerge as a fresh faced talent across the next year and we expect big things.

His influences run deep and help to form the basis of his own musical output, subtle nods given to the days of classic house music and the old clubs of Chicago. Jackin' kicks and woozy acid lines reinforce the notion.

We invited him to take us through his musical roots which he does so below in fine style picking tracks by the likes of Underground Resistance, Armando, Dj Sneak and beyond.

This really inspired me when I got a bit disillusioned with the infinite possibilities of a DAW. Theo speaks about limitations of a certain machine, in this case MPC 2000xl. I really related and thought, yeah, this could help me in my scenario. I would watch it over and over again, visualising myself owning an MPC until I finally got one, now its the mainstay hub of my studio and I haven’t looked back.
